Torque Converter Installation Dimension, Checking

- When torque converter is installed correctly in transmission, distance - a - between lower contact surfaces on threaded holes at torque converter and contact surface of converter housing is approx. 20 mm.





If torque converter is incorrectly installed this distance is considerably less.

The torque converter is properly inserted when it can easily be turned by hand and is seated equally deep in transmission around the entire circumference.

CAUTION!
When the torque converter is incorrectly installed the torque converter drive or the ATF pump will be destroyed when the transmission is connected to the engine.

Pay particular attention to the following point when installing transmission afterward:

Keep checking whether the torque converter behind the drive plate can be moved when tightening of the bolts at engine/transmission flange.

If the torque converter cannot be moved, it must be assumed that it has not been inserted properly and that the coupling plate of the torque converter or the ATF pump will be destroyed during final tightening of the bolts.
